29 January 2006 marked the end of the era of ema’s crib hence our own hang out place. life has its own cruel way to torture us and this is one of them by taking away our house of hedonistic. Ema how could you!!!!!! Well the show must go on so we all kinda chipped in packing up her stuffs, cleaning the place and make sure that she got everything with her, then again we all know Ema. Throughout the whole ordeal we kinda reminisced the good time we had together and how we gonna miss it, subconsciously this small apartment had such a big impact and history to us all. Hard to explain in words but somehow I had this weird feeling that things going to change from now on. Believe it or not she was there for only 6 months but it feels like she had been living there for at least a year, for some reasons I feel more at lost than herself.
It took 5 cars to move her belongings to the new place and as usual the whole thing couldn’t go on without any drama. This one was no exception. Well Ema’s 32” Sony widescreen tv has its own stand and it had a glass shelf. This glass was removable. So we basically finished loading up the whole things into the cars and ready to rock. Leia’s car responsible for transferring the tv and was in the parking ground which needed the swipe card to get out of the lot. The remaining of the cars were outside. Here went the first car with the tv followed by the rest. For some reasons the tiny stretch road out of the apartment were filled with shattered glass as if there were cars accident which windscreens just broke into pieces. It was only at the new house when we realized that the shattered glass was indeed the glass partition of Ema’s tv stand. Turns out that the one who shouldn’t be named put the glass on the bonnet’s roof of Leia’s car intended to pick it up again and put it into the car, unfortunately….yes he forgot and no one including the driver saw it until it went off the bonnet’s roof onto the road when the car was moving. Hence the shattered glass on the road.
I guess there were 9 adults and 2 toddlers altogether and imagine the commotion we made when we arrived at the new house, it made the next door neighbour stepped out of the house checking on us, hell it even took zariena by surprise as well (Ema’s new housemate). Gosh felt like hari raya when the whole family come together and being the most noisy house in the neighbourhood. Was fun and the foods were good as well. At the end we had to leave Emarina to settle at her new house and some gotta go to work the next day so we called it a night besides I gotta go back to Limerick that very night. So there it was the end of 39 seana mhuileann apt……may it rest in peace.
